Why don't they call their toys custom injection molding? it's a marketing ploy?

  I'm not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting they're not actually 3d printed toys?

    I'm sure that they are 3D printed but they are not offering the full benefits of 3D printing (and far from it) ... calling it 3D printing is almost irrelevant (although quality can sometime differ when using some types of 3D printing).

  Injection molding refers to a specific manufacturing process that Amazon is not using. http://www.vulcanmold.com/uploads/image/plastic-injection-molding-proces.jpg http://www.vulcanmold.com/uploads/image/plastic-injection-mo...

  Because that would be completely wrong. It's not custom, and it's not injection molding. What they're doing isn't custom, and they're not claiming it is. It is 3D printing, and they are (correctly) claiming it is.

    I was not talking about their 3D printed products... I was talking about their other products.... Fisherprice toys for example... Why don't they tell you how they where molded?

      Ah, ok. That's a fair point.
